ing on these points.
At the first meeting of the COMMITTEES
held on June 18th, the following pro-
ceedings were had:
On motion of Mr.. Summers it was re-
| solved that this committee do now call a
convention of the Democratic party of the
county for the purpose of nominating all
county and district offices, and for the
| transaction of such other business as shall
properly come before said convention; and
that the time for the meeting of said con-
ventiOn he at IL o'clock q. M, at the
court house of the county on Saturday,
the Goth day of August next.
On motion of A. Lewenthal, it was Or
dered that the precinct meetings to elect
delegates to the county convention be
held at the respective voting places of the
precincts at IL o'clock, a. IN, on Monday,
the 18th day OF August next.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr.. Summers and adopted by the COM
mittce:
Resolved. That all legal voters of the
county shall be entitled to participate at
their respective voting places in the Dem
Ocratic meetings held in pursuance of the
call of this committee, who shall promise
to abide by the result of the meetings and
pledge their support to the nominees of
the party at the approaching election.
On motion of Mr.. Lewenthal, the fore
going resolution is directed to be read by
the temporary chairman to those assem-
bled before proceeding to business.
AT second meeting of the committee
held on July 9th, the following addition
al resolution was adopted as to the man
ner of conducting the precinct meetings
and who should be allowed to partici-
pate therein:
Resolred, That it is recommended to the
Democratic voters of each precinct that
before proceeding to permanent organi-
cation, and in addition to the reading of
the resolution as already directed, the
temporary chairman cause a roll to be
prepared on which each voter desiring to
participate in the meeting, shall write or
shall be headed thus:
1--WE, the undersigned, now enroll our
selves as Democrats and hereby announce
our adhesion to the Democratic party and
pledge our honor to abide by the action
of the party and support the Democratic
ticket"
From this it will be seen that none but
known Democrats and others who are
willing to hereafter support the Demo-
cratic party and its duly authorized rep
resontatives are entitled to take part in
the precinct meetings, and this rule
should be strictly enforced. No man has
any business in these meetings who can't
be trusted to support the Democratic
ticket when nominated, or desires to get
into the convention for the purpose of
trying to revolutionize, in the interest of
independents and Republicans, what the
Executive Committee has done, and
Democrats at every precint should look
we'll to this.

several precincts are entitled to represen-
taton in the County Convention as fol-
